The Hidden Treasures of the High-Atlas: Exploring Moroccan Quartz Geodes
Nestled within the rugged terrain of the High-Atlas Mountains, Moroccan Quartz Geodes are geological wonders that captivate both scientists and collectors. These geodes, often spherical or oblong in shape, are hollow rocks lined with stunning quartz crystals. Their formation is a testament to the slow and intricate processes of nature that involves a complex geological process that spans millions of years. 1. Volcanic Activity and Cavity Formation The initial stage of geode formation begins with volcanic activity. Basaltic lava flows, rich in silica, cool and solidify, trapping gas bubbles within the rock. These gas bubbles create cavities or voids, which are...
